Question

question 10 (1 point)
find the are of the shaded part of this square.
8 in.
4 in.
4 square inches
16 square inches
32 square inches
64 square inches

Explanation:

Step1: Find the side length of the small square

Since the large square has a side length of \(8\) inches and is divided into four parts (two rows and two columns), the side length of each small square is \(8\div2 = 4\) inches.

Step2: Calculate the area of one small square

The area formula of a square is \(A = s^2\) (where \(s\) is the side - length). For a small square with \(s = 4\) inches, \(A=4\times4=16\) square inches.

Step3: Count the number of shaded small squares

There are \(2\) shaded small squares.

Step4: Calculate the area of the shaded part

The area of the shaded part is \(2\times16 = 32\) square inches.

Answer:

C. 32 square inches
